Seahawks Win Again Plus College Bowl Games

The Seattle Seahawks started off 

slow kicking two field goals in 

the first half. Fortunately so did the 

Atlanta Falcons.

The Seahawks dominated the second 

half so the Seahawks won 37-9. Now 

the Seahawks are 10-3. Still have

to sed how the Rams do.since losing 

to them the Seahawks have won

three straight.

The Seahawks started out with

Rashid Shaheed running the opening

kickoff for one hundred yards to make

it 13-6. About eight minutes later on

the clock Jaxon Smith-Njigba caught 

a 28 yard touchdown pass. With 2:39

remaining in the third Jason Myers 

kicked his third field goal of the game.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter 

the Falcons decided to kick another

field goal with it being 4th and two 

yards to go. Their fans booed the

decision. Can't blame them. It didn't 

take the Seahawks long to get another

touchdown. Shaheed caught a 29

yard pass followed by a 11 yard catch

by Cooper Kupp for a touchdown. The

Falcons fans had to really mad then.

The Falcons did give up an interception 

since they had to throw to get back into

the game.  Jaxon Smith-Njigba had his

second touchdown and the last scoring

of the game.

The Seahawks play the Colts at home

next Sunday. With a win they could

clinch a spot in the playoffs. The Rams

are currently beating the Cardinals at

the end of the first half. The 49ers have

a bye this week. Go Hawks!

Next Saturday the Washington Huskies

will play Boise State in the LA Bowl. It

should be an exciting game.  Go Dawgs 

The Washington State Cougars will play

Utah State in the Famous Idaho Potato

Bowl on Monday December 22. Go Cougs

Washington Huskies Men's Comeback Against USC

The Washington Huskies showed what they

are made of and could be a good team

in the Big Ten. 

The Huskies were down by 18 points 

at halftime and made their move in

second half and finally taking over

and won 84-76 at the USC Trojans

who are a good team too.

Hanes Steinbach led the Huskies

with 24 points and 16 rebounds.

This was his his second game back

after missing a few games. Steinbach 

is showing to be one of the top rebounders 

in the Big Ten if not the whole country.

He is always at the right spot. 

Desmond Claude who missed the

Early part of the season was second

leading scorer with 22 points. Claude

who played for USC last season along

with Steinbach were the two main

players who got the Huskies back into

the game and over the hump. Both

made some key 3 pointers. The Trojans 

kept it close down the stretch with a

fre of their own 3 pointers but couldn't 

reestablish the lead. 

The Huskies went with four guards 

much of the second half along with

Steinbach in the middle. With this

talented group we could see more 

of them in the game. Yates added 

16 points. Besides those three we

could see Zoom Diallo and Quimari 

Peterson in the game at the same

time. Peterson who has started a

few games has primarily come off

the bench. 

The Huskies don't play again until

next Saturday. We hope more healthy 

players to face Southern Utah at

home. Go Dawgs!

Mariners Trade Harry Ford To the Nationals

The Winter Meetings starts on Monday

however the Seattle Mariners decided 

go trade one of their top prospects 

to the Washington Nationals for

left handed reliever Jose Ferrer. 

Ferrer is mentioned as a middle reliever

however he did have 11 saves despite 

4.48 era. This could give the Mariners 

another lefty late in the game besides 

Gabe Speier. 

The question now is who will be the

backup catcher. Will they bring back

free agent Mitch Garver or go after 

someone else. Stay tuned for what

may come up. Go M's.

Gonzaga Rebound Over Kentucky

After being blown out by Michigan

on the road by 40 points the question 

would be how they would respond.

Well they beat Kentucky on the road

to by winning 94-59

Keys was the Zags out shot Kentucky 

Wildcats from the field. The Zags made 

20 more shots though only took three

more. Kentucky took almost twice

as many three point shots and made

two less than the Zags. The Zags shot

over fifty percent from the field while

the Wildcats shot at 26.7 percent.

The Zags made about half their points

inside while Wildcats made 18 which

the majority of the difference in the

score. 

Graham Ike led the Zags with 28 points

after having one against Michigan. 

He had ten rebounds as well. Braden 

Huff had 20 points. 

Gonzaga will play Sunday at home

against North Florida. The game

after that will be home against UCLA.

Go Zags!

Preview Seattle Seahawks at Atlanta Falcons

The Seattle Seahawks are favored over

the Atlanta Falcons although playing on

the road where they are 4-2 on the season.

The Seahawks are tied with the Rams  

with 8-3 record. They play each other

on Thursday night in Seattle on December

18. This may put the winner as division champions. Including this game the 

Seahawks have six games remaining 

and unless they totally fall apart they

will be in the playoffs whether beating the

Rams or not. 

The Seahawks have a record of 13-7

over the Falcons including beating 

them in Atlanta last year. Kirk Cousins

will be starting at quarterback after

former Husky quarterback Michael 

Penix Jr. was hurt and out for the season.

The Falcons will be without #1 wide

receiver Drake London and defensive 

lineman  Drandon Dorlus. This will be

an impact on the Falcons. Much like

the Minnesota Vikings last week the

defense is the strength of the Falcons.

The Falcons will likely rely on their

running game. Number one running

back is Bijan Robinson who has 995

yards at this point averaging 5.1 yards

per carry. It will be important that the

Seahawks stop him. Ken Walker lll 

has over 700 yards and 4 touchdowns

while Zach Charbonnet has over 400

yards and eight touchdowns.  Tyler

Allgeier the Falcons back up running

back has 344 yards and eight touchdowns 

so much like Charbonnet of the Seahawks.

This game should come down how

well both teams defense plays and

possibly special teams. Go Hawks!

WSU Loses Football Coach

Jimmy Rogers after only one season 

at Washington State is moving onto

Iowa State where their head coach

Matt Campbell left for Pen State.

Sunday the Cougars will find out 

whst bowl game they will play in.

The interim coach will be defensive 

coordinator Jessie Bobbit who likely

move on after the game and wouldn't 

be a surprise if he ends up at Iowa

State. 

On Thursday backup quarterback Jaxon

Potter announced he was going into

the transfer portal. Zevi Eckhaus will

likely start in his final season in college

for the Cougars. Iowa State has depth 

at quarterback unless one decides to

enter the transfer portal and go to

Penn State. We will learn coming up 

who else might transfer from WSU. 

The Cougars fired their athletic director

recently and has someone who is interim.

Talk is former Oregon State and Michigan

State coach Jonathan Smith who was just

fired could end up with the Cougars. We

have to figure he is a good candidate

for the Cougars job.

Wednesday the Cougars signed 28 

prospects. Now we have to see how

many end up staying or entering the

transfer portal which is a sad thing

all around. Undergraduates do have

right to go elsewhere however in

my opinion they should be able to

transfer to another team in the

same conference for a year. That

wouldn't be for those who have

graduated and still have eligibility. 

We will have to see how many players 

will decide to play in the bowl game.

The Cougars have eight players on

offense that the bowl game will be

their last college game. Most of the

second team are undergraduates so

we could see some of them enter

the transfer portal. They have ten 

defensive players who will be the

last one coming up for them. We

hope some player will decide to

stay at least until after the bowl

game.  Since most of the Cougars

players have been there star when

recruited some may not fit into

Iowa State. Of course this can come

to how many transfer out though

Jimmy Rogers will look elsewhere 

to see who is in the transfer portal.

I am sure will speak to some of the

players on the team too.

We wish him the best at Iowa State.

Go Cougs!

First Day *of Signing Day in College Football

The Washington Huskies and WSU

 Cougars on the first day of signing.

The Huskies ended up 23 players on 

the first day to sign. They ended up

losing one player Dre Pollard who

decided to go to Stanford instead.

So their ranking actually changed 

from 15 to 13 with 27 signings so

far. Who knows maybe they will

have more depending on whether

anyone goes through the transfer 

portal. The Huskies are showing 

they are serious.

Kodi Greene offensive tackle is

the only Husky who is a five stars.

I expect that he will start next season 

for the Huskies. They have only one

other offensive tackle.  Ah Deong Yang

from Puyallup likely play at guard.

Derek Zemmit is the lone quarterback 

in this group. He is three star out of

New Jersey. Derek was pursued by

Alabama as well..Three teams out

of the Big Ten were interested in

him including nearby Rutgers. 

The Huskies have two running backs,

Four wide receivers with three being 

four star recruits which is a good sign.

One tight end  Sam Vyhlidal out of 

Lake Oswego Oregon and is three 

star.

On defense three  defensive lineman

with two being four star. One edge rusher,

two inside linebackers, one safety, four

corners and CJ Wallace at kicker.

Let's see how these all work out.

The Cougars signed 27 players. Most

are three star players. They signed

Hudson Kurland the loan quarterback 

out of Lake Oswego Oregon. Ten offense 

players, three players listed as athletes 

so could be running back, wide receiver 

or defensive back. Signed a long snapper.

So 23 players listed as defensive players 

We wish all these guys well in Pullman.

Go Cougs!

UCLA Beats Washington Huskies On Road

It was an exciting and tough game for 

both teams.

The Huskies got off to a good start 

then the Bruins defense got them

back into the game.  The Bruins

outside shooting got them into 

double digits lead most of the rest

if the way. It looked like they would win 

easy.

The last two minutes the Huskies

got the lead down to where they had 

had a chance to win. Hanes Steinbach 

was back after missing several games.

His offensive rebounding along with

scoring got the Huskies two points down.

Zoom Diallo shot a three pointer but 

missed it to give the Bruins the win.

UCLA 82 Washington 80

Steinbach had 29 points and 10 rebounds

to lead the Huskies.   Zoom Diallo had

19 points while Yates and Peterson had

12..

The Huskies next game will be Saturday 

afternoon at the USC Trojans. Should be 

another good game.  Go Dawgs!

Cougars Lose A Close One On the Road

Being a WSU Cougars student or

fan can be frustrating at times

in sports anyway.

Bradley beat the Cougars 64-0.

Bradley ran off seven straight 

points in the last two minutes 

of the game. Yes the Cougars 

didn't score one point during

that time. Bradley was down

60-57 when they made a 3 point

shot to tie and had four more

points. One a two point shot

and two free throws near the

end.

The game was tight most of the

game. Neither team lead in

double figures. As you can see

the Cougars had a real good chance

but couldn't collect.

The reasons the Cougars were in

the game Bradley took 13 more 

shots and made only one more.

They took ten more free throws

and made only three more. 

The main trouble was the

Cougars had 20 turnovers to

Bradley 7.  Bradley had 23 points 

off turnovers while the  Cougars

4. The Cougars were still in

the game really by Bradley poor

shooting .

The  Cougars next game will be

against Nevada on Sunday.

Washington Huskies Football New Recruiting Class

The new freshman class coming in for the 2026 season is 22 commitments. Early signing will be in a few days. The Huskies 

are listed number 15 nationally. One of the

highest rankings they have ever had.

This season the Huskies played several 

players who were either starters or 

second team. We will have to see how

many signed up will be in the same

category next season. The Huskies 

could be one of the youngest teams

with starters or second teamers

again.

The Huskies have one five star recruiter

along with eight four stars. The rest

are three stars. The lone five star is 

offensive lineman Kodi Green out of 

Santa Ana California. He committed 

back in April. There is a pretty good 

chance he will be a starter in 2026.

They have one other offensive lineman 

in Dominic Harris from Las Vegas. Most

likely he will start out as a back up.

We should be hearing soon about players

who will enter the transfer portal. It

would be nice to see players not allowed 

to enter the portal until after their school

is  finished playing in a bowl game. Of

course those who are not playing in a

bowl game should be allowed right away.

Of the eight four star players one is local

in Derek Colman-Brusa an edge rusher. 

The Huskies have four local players 

as three star prospects. 

As far as quarterback they have one

in Derek Zammit a three star prospect

out of New Jersey. There is likely the

Huskies will look to the transfer portal 

for a backup to Demond Williams Jr..

Kai Horton was his backup this year as 

a graduate student and likely how the

Huskies go again.

Of those committed seven are offensive

players. They have a kicker in CJ Wallace 

out of Bellflower California. Dre Pollard

a three star out of Las Vegas is listed

as athlete so he could go either on

offense or defense. 

Look at more of the positions after the

 early signing day. Stay tuned to those

who will transfer out of into the Huskies 

team. Go Dawgs!

Saturday Cougars Beat Beavers in Pullman

The WSU Cougars came back on 

Saturday to beat the Beavers 32-8.

This was after Oregon State beat

them on November 1st. 10-7.

The Cougars had a field goal in

the first quarter followed by another 

one in the second. They had a touchdown 

run just over 11 minutes remaining 

in the first half. A one yard pass just 

under two minutes remaining in the

half 

The Cougars had a five yard run by

quarterback Zevi Eckhaus for the 

only score of the third quarter.  The

extra point was missed.  The Beavers 

finally had a touchdown at 5:49 left

in the game and made a two point 

conversation. It didn't take long

as the Cougars scored again in

40 seconds. 

The Cougars defense did a good 

job as they sacked the Beavers 

quarterback six times.

On Friday the Beavers hired their

next head coach. He is Alabama

Co-ordinator  JaMarcus Shephard.

If his name is familiar he was with

the Huskies when Kalen DeBoer 

was head coach and went to

Alabama with him.

Beating the Beavers the Cougars 

became bowl eligible at 6-6.

So one more game on the season. 

Go Cougs!
